Bug #62045 [NEW]: public access to a protectec method

From: Operating system: Linux PHP version: 5.3.13 Package: Class/Object related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:public access to a protectec method Description: ------------ This code works, but it shouldn't, because AnotherClass::foo is protected. It works only if "OneClass" extends "AnotherClass". If we dont't extends "OneClass" with "AnotherClass" (in this example we don't need it) we will see the normal error: Fatal error: Call to protected method AnotherClass::foo() from context 'OneClass' Test script: --------------- class AnotherClass { protected function foo() { return "bar"; } } class OneClass extends AnotherClass { private $object; public function __construct(AnotherClass $object) { $this->object = $object; } public function myFunction() { return $this->object->foo(); } } $obj = new OneClass(new AnotherClass()); echo $obj->myFunction(); Expected result: ---------------- Fatal error: Call to protected method AnotherClass::foo() from context 'OneClass' Actual result: -------------- "bar" (without Fatal error) -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62045&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62045&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62045&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62045&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62045&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62045&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62045&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62045&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62045&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62045&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62045&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62045&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62045&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62045&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62045&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62045&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62045&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62045&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62045&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62045&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62045&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62045&r=mysqlcfg
